~pcwiz Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Is there any guide on how to start writing a driver for OS X? Just like a beginners guide sorta. I'm planning on at least trying to write a QE/CI driver for VMware installations of OS X.

DiegoMax Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 @pcwiz: I dont wanna sound rude.... but... you need to read a lot before asking "how to write a driver for OSX", it is clear that if you dont know what to read, most probably you are far away from the skills needed to write even a serial port driver. My advise to you is to start reading from the beginning: Introduction to C++ and then, this one: Beginning Mac OSX Programming and then: Getting started with Hardware, Drivers & IOKit after that, you can start thinking about the remote possibility of writing any kind of driver for OSX.
